Although the weather was cold for the picnic, the club president, Mr T. Parata, believes that the club has celebrated its birthday in fine fashion and is well launched into the next ten years of growing from strength to strength. Each Sunday afternoon, the club meets in the Y.M.C.A. rooms and while the adults take part in their classes or practice, guided by the Cultural director Mr R. Edwards, the children under the leadership of Miss R. Mason gain a very good grounding in the skills which they will be using in later club life. In this way, the club is looking to its future in a very practical way and this concern for the children, together with the ambitious plans for a community centre, indicate that the next ten years should be both very busy and very rewarding. The club will definitely need both the wisdom of the elders and the enthusiasm of youth.

Queensland Polynesian Association On Friday, 2 February, 1968, about 350 guests, including members of the Queensland Polynesian Association, gathered at the Souths Rugby League Clubhouse at Davies Park, in the Brisbane suburb of West End to celebrate the 128th Anniversary of the Treaty of Waitangi. The day was honoured by a cabaret supper dance with a Maori welcome ceremony. Among the guests in this celebration were Pacific Islands Polynesian representatives from Tonga, Samoa, and Hawaii, French Polynesia and the Cook Islands. Mrs Tai Price, formerly of Gisbone represented the Maoris of New Zealand and the Cook Islands and Mr Terry Over, formerly of Auckland, represented New Zealand. Beside the Islanders and the Maoris, the majority of the members are Australians and New Zealanders. We have a membership of approximately 300. New Zealanders, both Maori and Pakeha, who intend to visit Queensland may contact us by writing to our Hon. Secretary at the address below, as we also assist them to obtain accommodation before their arrival.
